Rule 2016. Compensation for Services Rendered and Reimbursement of
Expenses
(a) Application for Compensation or Reimbursement
An entity seeking interim or final compensation for services, or
reimbursement of necessary expenses, from the estate shall file an
application setting forth a detailed statement of (1) the services
rendered, time expended and expenses incurred, and (2) the amounts
requested. An application for compensation shall include a
statement as to what payments have theretofore been made or
promised to the applicant for services rendered or to be rendered
in any capacity whatsoever in connection with the case, the source
of the compensation so paid or promised, whether any compensation
previously received has been shared and whether an agreement or
understanding exists between the applicant and any other entity for
the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services
rendered in or in connection with the case, and the particulars of
any sharing of compensation or agreement or understanding therefor,
except that details of any agreement by the applicant for the
sharing of compensation as a member or regular associate of a firm
of lawyers or accountants shall not be required. The requirements
of this subdivision shall apply to an application for compensation
for services rendered by an attorney or accountant even though the
application is filed by a creditor or other entity. Unless the
case is a chapter 9 municipality case, the applicant shall transmit
to the United States trustee a copy of the application.
(b) Disclosure of Compensation Paid or Promised to Attorney for
Debtor
Every attorney for a debtor, whether or not the attorney applies
for compensation, shall file and transmit to the United States
trustee within 15 days after the order for relief, or at another
time as the court may direct, the statement required by Sec. 329 of
the Code including whether the attorney has shared or agreed to
share the compensation with any other entity. The statement shall
include the particulars of any such sharing or agreement to share
by the attorney, but the details of any agreement for the sharing
of the compensation with a member or regular associate of the
attorney's law firm shall not be required. A supplemental
statement shall be filed and transmitted to the United States
trustee within 15 days after any payment or agreement not
previously disclosed.
